Stars Of The New Freeform Series “The Come Up” Talk Music, Freeform TV Shows & More
Freeform’s distinct brand of coming-of-age programming helps to position it as the #1 primetime cable network in entertainment among Adults, Women and Men 18-34 in the 2021/2022 TV season to date. Connecting to audiences with its bold original programming and immersive social engagement, Freeform channels the force and momentum of its young adult audience in its quest for progress with authentic, groundbreaking original series such as Emmy-nominated grown-ish, Good Trouble, Motherland: Fort Salem, Single Drunk Female, Everything’s Trash and Cruel Summer; Cruel Summer was reportedly the #1 new cable drama of 2021 among Women 18-34. Last year, Freeform aired 4 of the Top 15 scripted cable original series among Women 18-34, which is said to be more than any other network, with grown-ish ranking as cable’s #1 live-action comedy series of the year in the demo.
The new Freeform series The Come Up follows 6 young creatives in iconic downtown New York as they pursue love, art and friendship on their own terms. Its cast is comprised of a group of ambitious, action-oriented, and diverse Gen Z New Yorkers whose careers are on the rise, and each person is thriving in their respective fields: modeling, fashion design, photography, acting, and nightlife-organizing. This includes Taofeek Abijako, Fernando Casablancas, Ben Hard, Claude Shwartz, Ebon Gore and Sophia Wilson. Megan Sanchez-Warner (The Real Housewives Of Orange County, Love & Hip Hop Hollywood) serves as its showrunner, and Jessica Chermayeff, Ana Veselic and Anne Alexander executive produce the series, while Chermayeff and Veselic also serve as series directors.
